Darth Wrinkles. The Abominable Snowman. A midget green alien space ninja. The biggest plot twist in cinematic history. Of all the films in the Star Wars legacy, The Empire Strikes Back had the biggest task at hand. Having introduced the concepts of the jedi and The Force in the first film, it now had to open the universe up to a much larger, more expansive world, with some pretty fantastical elements, and still leave us saying that was pretty cool. Amazingly, it’s often touted not only as a good film in the series, but some arguing that it’s the best of the series.
